Episode Summary:Is faith just wishful thinking? How should Christians think about conspiracy theories?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Juan Valdes to recover a biblical, evidence-based understanding of faith. We explore why faith is not a blind leap but trust in a trustworthy God, why the object of faith matters more than the amount of faith, and how damaging teachings like “you weren't healed because you lacked faith” distort the gospel.We also tackle the faith vs. science narrative, exposing the assumptions behind scientism and showing why the deeper conflict is often naturalism vs. theism, not Christianity vs. research. Along the way, we discuss faith and works, skepticism, conspiracy thinking, and how churches can disciple young people being shaped more by school, media, and social platforms than by biblical teaching. Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Rich Valdes fills in for Mark Levin. The radical left socialists in New York City started around 15 years with Occupy Wall Street. They shifted from occupying a park to running newsrooms, classrooms, and Congress. President Trump and the MAGA movement have fought back. We are choosing liberty, but we need to replace them in these key roles. We need active involvement beyond passive support—getting hands dirty, not just writing checks. The country must fight to hold and regain ground in key areas rather than cut bait. The time for action is now.

Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, a former newspaper reporter and bestselling novelist who has spent recent years investigating Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, says she has left her home and is preparing to leave the United States after what she claims were “directed energy weapon” attacks connected to her Epstein reporting. She has alleged that her work on Zorro Ranch, local cover-up claims, and possible intelligence-linked trafficking networks made her a target, and she described suffering symptoms she compared to “Havana syndrome,” including neurological pressure-type effects. She claimed the attacks came in multiple episodes, possibly from equipment on or near her roof or from a semi-truck parked near her home.

“Rīgas filharmoniķi” – jauna, topoša kultūras kapitālsabiedrība un Latvijas Nacionālā simfoniskā orķestra simtgade – Kultūras rondo iztaujājam LNSO valdes locekli Indru Lūkinu.  Ar vienu no gaišākajiem Ludviga van Bēthovena opusiem – viņa spožo Vijolkoncertu – un Pētera Vaska Otro simfoniju rītvakar, 14. maijā, uz savas simtās sezonas noslēguma koncertu igauņu diriģentes Kristīnas Poskas vadībā Rīgas Kongresu namā aicina Latvijas Nacionālais simfoniskais orķestris. Jubilejas sezona nav bijusi viegla – tā pavadīta pagaidu mājvietā, bez galvenā diriģenta un pastāvīga koncertmeistara, nodrošinot augsta līmeņa programmas un skanējumu ar algām mūziķiem, kas pat Baltijas valstu līmenī ir nekonkurētspējīgas. Cauri pastāvīgai izaicinājumu jūrai orķestri jau trīspadsmito gadu stūrē direktore Indra Lūkina. Tagad priekšā nākamais izaicinājums – LNSO un Valsts akadēmiskā kora “Latvija” apvienošana kapitālsabiedrībā “Rīgas filharmoniķi”. Spilgtus muzikālus notikumus šajā sezonā orķestrim izdevies radīt, neskatoties uz to, ka šobrīd LNSO ir ārpus savas pastāvīgās mājvietas, jo līdzšinējā mājvieta - Lielā ģilde - joprojām ir remontā, kā arī sezona aizvadīta bez mākslinieciskā vadītāja. Raksturojot noskaņojumu kolektīvā, Indra Lūkina vērtē, ka tas ir tomēr pozitīvs. Bet vērtējot Rīgas kongresu namu, kas ir orķestra šī brīža mājvieta, viņa atzīst, ka tā ir "pārmaiņu laikos ir gana laba zāle, lai rīkotu tur koncertus". Viņa vērtē, ka mūziķi šajā zālē jūtas komfortabli, jo gan mēģinājumu gan koncerta telpas ir vienuviet. "Klausītāji arī ir pieņēmuši šo zāli kā tādu, kur tuvākos, iespējams, vēl varbūt pat pāris gadus būs koncerti," atzīst Indra Lūkina. "Tagad arī mēs, orķestris, it īpaši mūziķi, protams, arī skatītāji zālē izjūt to, kā ir spēlēt lielā telpā, kubatūra Kongresu nama zālē, kaut arī tā vēl nav piemērota kā īsta koncertzāle, ir daudz lielāka nekā, piemēram, Lielajā ģildē. Arī vietu skaits ir pāri par 900, kas ļoti priecē mūs, jo varam pārdot vairāk biļešu un cilvēki arī nāk." Plānots, ka Lielajā ģildē LNSO varēs atgriezties 2027. gada rudenī. -- Kultūras ministrija (KM) rosina apvienot Latvijas Nacionālo simfonisko orķestri (LNSO) un Valsts akadēmisko kori "Latvija", izriet no ministrijas sagatavotā rīkojuma projekta anotācijas.  Atbilstoši anotācijai, kas pieejama Tiesību aktu projektu portālā, kori "Latvija" kā mazāko kapitālsabiedrību pievienotu LNSO, un apvienotās valsts sabiedrības ar ierobežotu atbildību nosaukums būtu "Rīgas filharmoniķi".  Paredzēts, ka valsts līdzdalība reorganizētajā kapitālsabiedrībā tiktu saglabāta, par valsts kapitāla daļu turētāju nosakot KM.

Episode Summary: We've entered a world where seeing is no longer believing.In a culture shaped by deepfakes, viral outrage, and endless information, a deeper question emerges: how do you know what's real? When feelings become truth, reality doesn't disappear; it just gets ignored. And increasingly, that confusion isn't just out there; it's showing up inside the Church.In this episode, we sit down with pastor and apologist Juan Valdes, author of How to Think: A Crash Course in Critical Thinking, to confront the rise of post-truth thinking and its impact on apologetics, everyday discipleship, and your personal life. Why do arguments fall flat when emotions become the referee? And how is the authority of Scripture quietly being replaced by modern ideas of authenticity?Juan helps us chart a better path forward. We explore how to test ideas against reality, ask better questions, and rebuild a biblical worldview that connects every area of life. This is a conversation about recovering clarity, confidence, and compassion in an age of confusion. If you're tired of the fog and want to think clearly again, this episode is for you.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.
